The Context

Online property discovery often becomes frustrating when listings are inconsistent, incomplete, or difficult to filter. Users may spend too much time browsing without finding relevant options.

The Problem

Users struggled to compare listings because property information was not standardized. Important details were buried, and the overall search process created confusion instead of helping people make decisions faster.
